Benefits of technology

[0099]In accordance with the present invention, the right balance between releasing group stability and lability is achieved for linkers useful in ligand-therapeutic agent conjugates. To use the common releasing technologies, the therapeutic agent may require a specific functional group or must be appended with the desired group without affecting the drug's potency. For example, PAB technology normally uses amine-bearing drugs. An alternative method to release a drug moiety is provided herein. Attachment of the therapeutic agent via a common functional group, such as a hydroxyl group, is ideal since such groups are often found on natural product or natural product-based cytotoxics. Although commonly used as intermediates in organic synthesis, the use of silyl ether compounds found in the present invention as releasing moieties in the field of immunotoxins (i.e. antibody drug conjugates) or more broadly to targeted drug delivery, such as folate conjugates, can overcome the above limitations in the field of drug delivery. In the ligand-therapeutic agent conjugates herein, the therapeutic agent is preferentially cleaved at a particular cell or tissue type targeted by the ligand.

Problems solved by technology

Certain other functional moieties have been used such as esters, but esters often can be too labile to achieve the long plasma half-lives desired for the intact conjugate.

General Procedures

[0393]Unless otherwise noted, reagents and solvents were used as received from commercial suppliers. Proton nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra were obtained on Bruker spectrometers at 300 or 500 MHz. Spectra are given in ppm (δ) and coupling constants, J, are reported in Hertz. Tetramethylsilane (TMS) was used as an internal standard. Mass spectra were collected using a Waters SQ Detector single quadripole mass spectrometer (ESI). High performance liquid chromatograph (HPLC) analyses were obtained using a Luna C18(2) column (250×4.6 mm, Phenomenex, Torrance, Calif.) with UV detection at 254 nm using the standard solvent gradient programs Method A or Method B:

Preparation of benzyl 5-(chlorodimethylsilyl)pentanoate

[0396]

[0397]To a mixture of chlorodimethylsilane (0.730 g; 6.57 mmol) and benzyl pent-4-enoate (1.25 g; 6.57 mmol) under argon was added one drop of Karstedt's catalyst solution (in xylenes; ˜2% Pt). The reaction vessel was sealed and the mixture was heated to 60° C. for 13.5 hours. The crude liquid was used without purification.

Preparation of benzyl 5-(chlorodiphenylsilyl)pentanoate

[0398]

[0399]To a mixture of chlorodiphenylsilane (0.49 g; 2.58 mmol) and benzyl pent-4-enoate (0.50 g; 2.58 mmol) under argon was added two drops of Karstedt's catalyst solution (in xylenes; ˜2% Pt). The reaction vessel was sealed and the mixture was heated to 60° C. for 15 hours. The crude liquid was used without purification.
